Jia Jia Lok Chinese Restaurant

This is the hidden gem in Waterloo. The food is authentic and tasty. The prices are good. Not that this place is perfect. The decor is non-existent and the menu needs work. There is over-emphasis on noodle and rice dishes. Also, I seem to recall that they only take cash. However, I have no complaints about the food.

Price is pretty reasonable. A food was ok but prefers spicier. Lunch menu was reasonably priced but not much selection.

We ordered the eggplant rice dish with XO sauce and it was PERFECT! The stuff it's fresh and tasty, and the waitress is warm and friendly...The chef is also very accommodating to slight variations of the dishes according to my preference (I can't take food that is too spicy)...excellent place.

We went there for dinner after read the reviews online. Somewhat disappointed when we saw the restaurant(very small), but still went in. We ordered the most expensive dishes they have on the menu, but don't worry that each dish only costs less than 15dollars.

Overall, the food was O.K. taste compare to some other restaurants we went in the Chinatown. The price is very reasonable. The cashier was nice.

However, they ONLY accept the cash. Instead of background music, they had argument(very loud voice) from kitchen going on and on through entire dinner time.

Great food and service. Greeted with a smile and brought tea and water right away. Food was excellent and the hot and sour soup was good. Good place to have a quick bite to eat !

im chinese myself so i know which restaurants are authentic chinese foods...i love going there just for the special dish and cold milk tea..the service is really fast so it's good to go during lunch breaks.the prices are reasonable. im a regular there..although id rather they close on a weekday than on a saturday though!

We order for pickup from this restaurant once a week. They have the best hot and sour soup in KW.

Best Chinese food in town! Good portion, good taste, friendly atmosphere!

YUMMY
And the hostess even asked the cook not to make my stir fry too spicy since I like black bean sauce,but do not do well with overly spicy food. Food was hot and fresh, had leftovers for the next day. YUM.
And Cheap too.

Its a great place if u just want to full ur stomach cuz the food is plentiful and good. Its not a restaurant to take ur date but to take ur buddies. I always eat there w/ my buddies.
